Appendix D. Help and service information
This section contains information on how to obtain online and telephone technical
support.
Online technical support
Online technical support is available during the life of your product. Online assis-
tance can be obtained through the Personal Computing Support Web site and the
IBM Automated Fax System.
During the warranty period, assistance for replacement or exchange of defective
components is available. In addition, if your IBM option is installed in an IBM
computer, you might be entitled to service at your location. Your technical sup-
port representative can help you determine the best alternative.
Telephone technical support
Installation and configuration support through the HelpCenter will be withdrawn
or made available for a fee, at IBM’s discretion, 90 days after the option has been
withdrawn from marketing. Additional support offerings, including step-by-step
installation assistance, are available for a nominal fee.

lowing information as possible:
•Option name
•Option number
• Proof of purchase
• Computer manufacturer, model, serial number (if IBM), and manual
• Exact wording of the error message (if any)
